Energy and chemical CIO: Post-XP age-selective security software to have a piercing eyes

By April 8, XP, one of the longest operating systems in human history, would have been completely "retired". XP love to have a single clock, love to add to the people, how much seems a little lonely, and for many enterprise CIO, it is a tangle, the two-way difficult. According to incomplete statistics, China's personal PC market on the number of XP users up to hundreds of millions of. Of the key information infrastructure and critical information systems, XP accounts for about 60% of desktop operating systems, and some industries are even more than 80%. The overall deployment of the Department in the short term difficult to win7/8 migration "in the view of many users, XP is still the ' best use ' operating system, because it requires small computer hardware, but it can meet the needs of users." The point is that people have been used to it for more than 10 years. "As one of Asia's largest manufacturers of candle consumer goods," said the CIO Sun manager of a chemical group, "The retirement of Windows XP will be forced to upgrade the device for many years of users ' business, which may be a bit of a misery." In particular, many enterprises using enterprise-class software in China, replacing Windows XP with a new system means far-reaching. "A survey shows that most of the domestic enterprise management software, enterprise-specific software is based on the Windows XP operating system platform development. Once the operating system is forced to be replaced, these customized software based on the XP platform will be rebuilt and the cost is self-evident. "Our Enterprise Information System includes order system, remittance system, financial system, OA and even ERP, which are all based on Windows XP operating system platform," said Sun manager. The real problem is that our businesses purchased the system a few years ago, and if they decide to upgrade Windows 7 immediately, the cost of upgrading from the application to the PC is low. "360 enterprise security experts also said that, compared to individual users, enterprise users are affected by internal office systems, customized applications and office costs and other factors, a short period of time to the intranet of the operating system for large-scale version of the upgrade posed a great challenge." XP as the desktop operating system, is the user access to information Systems portal. The system promotion must involve the enterprise overall it strategic layout, affects the enterprise production management, cannot rashly move. Sun manager said, "due to the stability of business services, application continuity, the overall implementation of complexity, the new system procurement cycle, and other key issues, party and enterprise information system from XP system to WIN7/8 system migration is difficult to complete in a short time, conservative estimate this process will last 1-5 years." "Some experts point out that Microsoft will think that people are abandoning it soon because they are worried that XP is no longer safe, or some wishful thinking." Any change that violates the user's long-standing habits is simply an opportunity for some alternative scenarios. Good Windows 8, because of the lack of a Start menu, was made dirty, feed a large number of menu developers. Choose the third party XP security software to refine the "eyes"In addition to related to stability, continuity, complexity and other system-critical issues, XP" retired "on the other hand, also caused many users of the domestic XP system security concerns. The loss of Microsoft-backed XP systems means more hacking, information leaks, and computer paralysis, among other security risks. And from the current situation, a short time to replace XP with other operating systems is not realistic, apparently by the domestic security enterprises to introduce the corresponding XP reinforcement program to ensure that the user's computer safe operation is the best choice at this stage. Thankfully, on April 8, Microsoft's Global website released the list of security software recommendations for retired XP, and 360 of the world's 24 security companies are currently the only Chinese security software. In the recent "XP Challenge", the domestic number of XP protection software hackers "seconds Kill", 360 "XP Shield" is the only security software has not been captured by hackers, successfully protected the computer Word document has not been stolen. In addition, the domestic security companies have launched the "XP Protection program." Many security experts say that in the security battle for the retirement of XP, users must be discerning about the "real bead". "In the domestic security companies, more like 360, more reliable, its exclusive" XP Shield ", the original ' Fill-day engine ', is undoubtedly for various reasons want to continue to use XP system, but also worry about the safety of protection issues are not protected users eat a reassurance. Security has always been a top priority for our enterprise IT strategy. If temporarily cannot upgrade to Win7, we will strengthen the intranet protection, including the physical structure and software environment, issued a unified strategy, disabling certain functions of the client. "It is reported that for the Government and enterprises and institutions, 360 has launched the 360" XP Shield "and 360 days XP reinforced version. The two software security solutions, all with the features of hot patch repair, system hardening and dangerous procedure isolation, can fully guarantee the "post-XP era" computer security. CIO: The chief of the landscape. However, many IT managers and experts believe that the Microsoft Post-era Windows XP system escort is only a stopgap measure, it is impossible to continue to survive for a long time. In terms of efficiency and safety considerations, a qualified enterprise should be more active in upgrading the operating system. As for how long it is expected to switch to the WIN8 system, Sun manager said, "Switch point depends on the environment of the enterprise." "He suggested that future enterprise CIOs and technical architects use forward-looking thinking to look at issues and prepare and respond to Win7 and Win8 migrations." If you are accelerating an existing enterprise-class Windows migration, to implement a more pragmatic and effective preparation for the implementation of incremental BYOD strategies and scenarios, to cloud, to keep open, to use application and desktop virtualization, to set up a lab environment, to evaluate new platforms and applications, to business requirements, and to launch small-scale pilot projects, To prepare for a rainy day, closely follow the IT development wave.
